I am a huge proponent of training plans – I have never completed a distance race without one. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was chosen as a Zooma Florida Race Ambassador. I am teaming up with Rachel, another ambassador from Tampa, to host a group run in order to kick off Zooma Florida!

Don’t worry, you don’t have to be signed up for the race to participate! If you are on the fence about signing up, this is a great way to find out more about the 5k and half marathon race distances. Don’t forget, if you do sign up before November 4th, you will receive an awesome training care package mailed straight to your door! Use my discount code FLAMB8 to get 10% off your registration!

There is no set distance to be covered for the kick-off run. It is completely up to you as to how far you would like to go. Rachel plans to do 6 miles, and I will be doing between 8-10. If you would like to do more or less mileage, feel free!

After the training run, Zooma will be providing all attendees with Muscle Milk, Tshirts, and water to fuel back up! Feel free to stick around post run for Lululemon’s complimentary yoga class. It is a great way to stretch out after we run a few miles on Bayshore!

Not in Tampa on the date of the run? You can participate from anywhere! If you go for a run during the weekend of October 26th – 28th and write a blog post or share photos on the ZOOMA Facebook page, you will be entered to win some awesome prizes for the virtual kickoff run!

I hope to see lots of awesome ladies there! Please let me know if you are interested in the group run!
